I've been reading tarot for over 30 years and this app is incredibly flexible and usable, full-featured, and I'm glad to own it. I use the make my own spread a lot, I love that I can recall a spread through the journal that automatically logs the readings and any notes I choose to make. I just discovered that I can also add my own card meaning notes. It includes many spreads if I were to choose to use them, but I'm also creating my own spreads and being able to just draw cards and lay them anywhere on the “table” is important. I’m incredibly pleased and my one suggestion would be the ability to zoom and maneuver on the table/mat so I can study pairs and combinations of cards that lay close to each other or side by-side for symbology connections. That's it so far. The deck is deep, wild, mystical, fey and gives ample symbology for those who do intuitive readings, yet the symbology is so accessible I dare say this could be an excellent first deck for someone who wants to unhinge from reading meanings from a book. Meanwhile, the book's interpretations are elegant, the full text is included in the app, and their relation back to the cards is cohesive and affirming. It would provide an excellent teacher-student framework or a textbook to assist anyone in learning how to tie symbology with meaning. And the deck is so gorgeous, I'm sure the temptation to purchase the physical deck will be hard to resist. Excellent job to the artist, the authors, and the programmers. ### 5/5 — Beautiful Tarot deck *2020-10-13, version 2.1.5* This is a beautiful deck with lovely, dreamy art work that speaks to the subconscious mind and draws out intuition. This deck is worth every penny! ### 5/5 — Beautiful and Intriguing *2020-08-15* This is a wonderful deck. Not only are the images striking and full of layers of meaning, but having the full book of commentary available is an extra gift. Written from a non-European, non- masculine perspective, the comments can bring new insights to even experienced readers. Highly recommended. ### 5/5 — Fabulous app for every day *2020-07-24* I was so pleased to find this app version of Shadowscapes as I was put off from buying the physical set by reviews mentioning poor quality. These is now my every day go to for readings! Not only is the art wonderful and inspirational, but I love being able to expand to the full book details on descriptions, browse the range of spreads that are available and being able to set custom spreads too. The Journalling facility is super helpful to have. I wouldn’t be without it. The only minor drawback I’ve found is with the spread ‘cloth’ backdrop and animations. It’s nice to have the options but they look a bit dated and cheesy compared to the overall artwork style within the look and function of the app. I’ve just picked a plain black background and minimise using the animations so it’s not a dealbreaker by any means. ### 5/5 — Even more beautiful than the cards *2020-06-27* I own the cards which are hauntingly beautiful but could have been published with more care. The colours on the App are stunning and every detail is exposed. The ingenious, poetic thought-flow that is given with the book, including meanings, is all brought to life with this superior display of Stephanie’s stunning artwork. It helpfully gives layouts and a daily card which is addictive! Love it. ### 5/5 — Beautiful *2020-06-23* One of the most beautiful decks I have ever seen! ### 5/5 — One of my favorites! *2020-01-02* Lots of beautiful symbols and great stories in the images and writing. It’s been by my side for years and traveled around the world with me. Lots of help in times of trouble and lots of inspiration in times of creativity. An amazing deck to connect to the other world. ### 5/5 — Fantastical *2019-12-21* Beautiful in every aspect. This Tarot brings refreshing insight to my day, presented in a literary ivory tower sort of way. ### 5/5 — Maravilhoso *2019-11-26* Eu já conhecia a arte de Stephanie pois tenho este deck em versão fisica. Ter no celular também está sendo muito bom, principalmente pelo livro completo, contendo o ponto de vista da aquarelista sobre cada carta. Para quem ama tarô e quer um desck especial no celular, super recomendo. Para quem está apenas aprendendo a ler, recomendo buscar pelo deck “Rider Waite” ou o Tarô Mitológico, que são ideais para iniciantes. Enfim, ótimo trabalho. Amei. Vale cada centavo. ### 5/5 — Beautiful cards and app *2019-10-15* Love that I can shuffle the cards myself in the app before drawing.. It seems pretty good and on point so far. ### 5/5 — Wonderful *2019-10-10* I’ve been so down over the last few years as I’ve been losing my vision and have been unable to use my companion book for my deck. This app has brought so much joy now that I can revisit the deck/book again but on a large screen. Thank you. Works beautifully. ### 5/5 — My favorite deck *2019-09-15, version 2.1.5* I’ve owned a physical copy of this one for years, but I love having the same on call with my phone as well. Great artwork, versatile app, and well supported. ### 5/5 — Love imagery. Accurate. Easy to use. *2019-09-14* The images are breathtaking. The app is easy to use. It has a lot of different types of spreads to try. You can also look at each card individually. You can send the reading to other people. NOTE: when you share it says a date in the future though, not the current date. So, not sure what that is about but otherwise I feel I get a bang on card when I pull a card. Weird but it does work for me. ### 5/5 — SFSea *2019-09-07, version 2.1.5* Best app!!! ### 5/5 — Shadowscapes Tarot app *2019-08-29, version 2.1.2* This app works perfectly and is a joy to use when I don’t have a Tarot deck with me. Kudos to the developers who did such a great job. ### 5/5 — Great App *2019-05-19* I have the physical deck and it is my favorite to work with. So glad that I can now use it on the go. Love that there’s so many options for spreads and that I can make up my own. I also love that I can log a spread I’ve done with my actual deck, so that I can go back to it whenever I need to! ### 5/5 — Beautiful *2019-03-15, version 2.1.2* I have the deck and the book. It is truly lovely. I use the app daily to get a heads up on my day. Having the complete book on the app is a wonderful perk. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — A problem on iphone x *2019-03-26, version 2.1.2* I can’t access the cards at the bottom of the screen because they are at the same spot of the bar that minimizes the aplicarion screen of the ios system. ### 1/5 — Journal is crashing, please fix!!! *2018-01-25, version 2.0.2* Otherwise amazing app :) ### 4/5 — Cards in reverse *2022-07-06* This is a great app, I just wish there was a reverse meaning of cards. Is there any way that can be added to the next update or something? ### 4/5 — Good but lacking *2021-05-19, version 2.1.5* This app would be perfection if it had the reversed meanings. I can flip the card with a reverse button whoever, there’s no description for reversed cards. ### 4/5 — Great but crashes sometimes *2018-01-09* All the infos and cards are just great but the “journal” icon crashes the app all the time ### 4/5 — Amazing app for my favorite deck! *2017-10-19* For years this has been my go to deck when doing a reading on myself or for others. This deck is gentle with its messages and the beautiful art work is easy to connect with. I would love to give this app 5 stars if the developers could expand the section on the readings to include a journal section for each reading which can be accessed to review outside of the reading. ### 4/5 — Re *2015-10-09* Great app have the cards so thought I'd buy the app both work hand in hand ### 4/5 — Excellent deck nice app *2014-02-13* The only reason I didn't give five stars is that this deck in hard copy comes with the option of the "Happy Squirrel" card included. I would really like that card to be included in the app version, please. See International Icon Tarot for example of how it can be optionally included. Great deck though. One of my favorite apps as well. ### 4/5 — Beautiful *2013-08-27* Beautiful artwork to stimulate my visual seances and help tap into my intuitive self. ### 5/5 — Excellent app! *2025-11-25, version 2.1.5* Love this app! ## Most praised reviews (9 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Detailed and Customizable *2024-12-26* Beautiful images as big as my iPad. Every setting is customizable, even ones you didn’t know were options. Very many spreads to choose from or create your own! Can read about a card without pulling it and get access to the full book. ### 5/5 — My favorite deck *2024-01-28, version 2.1.5* This is a beautiful deck. ### 5/5 — My favorite *2022-12-28, version 2.1.5* My favorite deck ever! Very easy to connect with and it shows the designs in many wonderful ways. ### 5/5 — Beautiful art & functional *2022-12-09* Beautiful & functional tarot app featuring the gorgeous artwork of Stephanie Law. App gives me no problems and there’s nothing for purchase in app after I pay for the app itself which is good as some apps you pay for and still have to pay for other features to use the app. ### 5/5 — Beautiful mystical and inspirational *2022-04-03* These cards are so intricate, full of messages. I have had these cards since they have been out. Wonderful to have an app to view the messages and the art on each card that is incredible beyond words. Just looking at the art the message comes through! Thank you! ### 5/5 — My favorite deck *2021-07-22* This is my favorite deck and when I saw it as an app I HAD to have it!! And I am so glad I got it. I get to use it when on the go and it’s just as effective as the physical cards. The app has so many options and settings and has the ability for you to make your own spreads. I love it. ### 5/5 — Amazing artist and writer *2021-07-03, version 2.1.5* I absolutely love this deck. I have the cards and this app. It’s been a joy. A wonderful perspective ### 5/5 — Such a gorgeous deck! *2021-02-18* I bought the app because I couldn’t wait for my physical copy to show up before I started using this deck. I’m in love with the artwork and the book! It was a little weird for me, at first, not to have any Reversed meanings, but I can totally feel why the artist felt that this deck wasn’t meant to be used with reversals. I absolutely recommend this deck, as an app and in physical form. ### 5/5 — My fav deck and my fav tarot app *2021-01-14* I love the artwork of this deck which is composed and explored so beautifully in the test. I had the physical deck and loved it so much I gifted it to a friend. Now I have the app so I always have them wherever I go! The different spread layout options are very usual as well. Absolutely the best. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
